✨ GITVIEW(1) — the general commands manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is gitview, from the General Commands Manual section 1, and I'm about to make you obsessed with a file viewer. yes. a file viewer. stay with me. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

gitview — An ASCII/HEX file viewer 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gitview [-hvcblp] file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This manual page documents briefly the gitview command. Just a lil overview, a vibe check, yk?

gitview is an ASCII/HEX file viewer. That's the whole thing. That's her job and she eats every time. 💅

To move around in the file, you've got these keys, and I need you to memorize them like they're your friends' birthdays:

  • arrows 🌈
  • PageUp
  • PageDown
  • Home
  • End
  • ^N
  • ^P
  • ^V
  • ESC v
  • Space
  • Backspace

To refresh the screen, hit ^L — she just needs a lil reset moment, same honestly. 🔄

To leave, use F10, q, or ^X ^C. Three ways out, pick your fave, no wrong answers. 🚪

More extensive documentation on gitview and the other gnuit tools is available in info format, so bestie, try this:

info gnuit

And here's the fun part — you can change these keys. Not locked in at all. Just read the GITVIEW-Setup, GITVIEW-Color, GITVIEW-Monochrome and GITVIEW-Keys sections in the configuration files gnuitrc.TERM. Customize away, it's giving personal stylist energy. ✨

Oh and btw, gitview is part of git(1), the GNU Interactive Tools. Not that git. ik ik, the name is confusing, we don't talk about it. 💀
